In the 20th century, C.D. Howe authorized the beginning of Canada's nuclear energy age with three simple words: "Okay, let's go."
 
Over the next 80 years, we became a Tier-One nuclear nation, powered by our own natural uranium and innovative, first-class Canadian scientists and workers. 

Today, I am proud to build on that legacy with the release of Canada's first-ever Nuclear Energy Strategy — a plan to meet growing energy demand at home and abroad with clean, reliable, sovereign power.

Our Strategy charts a path forward across four priorities:

🔹 Enabling new builds across Canada.

🔹 Establishing Canada as a global supplier and exporter of choice through a coordinated Team Canada approach.

🔹 Expanding uranium production and securing our fuel cycle.

🔹 Investing in Canadian innovation

This is more than an energy plan. It is an industrial strategy, a pillar of our energy security, and an instrument of our foreign policy. It means high-quality jobs, a road to a clean grid, and diversifying our trading partners around the world.

The opportunity before us is significant, and the moment calls for action. We've done it before, and we can do it again — so okay, let's go. 🇨🇦

This is what happens when Garden River First Nation comes to Queen’s Park. This is a Nation coming to another, to demand #landback. Drummed in. Danced in. Led by an Eagle Staff carried by Elder Darrell Boissoneau @GardenRiver Chief Andy Rickard @⁦RDGCCBoissoneau⁩

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Garden River First Nation is here at the Legislature this morning.

Their leadership is taking legal action to enforce what their nation was promised under treaty in 1850. More than half of their territory was taken less than 10 years later. #onpoli
